In the spirit of SPAM, I've just signed up the gEDA administrators group
to be an answer contact - so we get emailed if anyone asks a question.

If people in this group don't like that idea, or the traffic grows too
much, we can perhaps probably create another group for geda-questions or
similar.

NB.. AFAIK the answers app doesn't need switching on.. just no one has
used it yet. I'll keep any eye myself, as its not good for our image if
people do use it and questions go unanswered.


Best wishes,
